HEC-RAS 5.0 Training in NYC – Surface Water Solutions: Consulting and Software Training

For 2022 training, please visit our updated New York City course page at hydroschool.org/nyc/.

All continuing education resources previously listed at surfacewater.biz have moved to hydroschool.org; going forward, the surfacewater.biz website will be dedicated to drainage-related consulting work only.

Below is the archived page with previous training courses.

Our first course in New York was held July 29 and Tuesday July 30, 2019 as part of our USA road trip. The course was held at WSP, located at One Penn Plaza in Manhattan.
